Reminder: you don't have to engage with AI as an instructor. You can talk about AI--even build AI literacy, if you want to call it that--and still not engage directly with a brutal, unethical, ecologically disastrous bundle of technologies. Regardless of institutional pressure, you can refuse.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

my job? oh I'm the guy who designs airport wifi. Yeah it's actually meant to be like that, it's a sort of misery-extraction system like in monsters inc. yeah tsa is part of it.

embarrassing myself

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group. exactitudes.com

auditioning for a Vivaldi solo, signing up for classical open mic, and enrolling in a second fencing class, my transformation into Julie D'Aubigny is underway

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly. Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent. You can sign up at the link below! www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

This is my under $50 Blick pick. You can also use Bee paper, I just wanted to show another brand. The 14 pan Cotman set adds a pink and a Payne's gray, which are excellent expansions on the core 12 set and worth the upgrade. Cotman brushes are very nice beginner brushes too.

Working on a t-shirt to sell to the weird people that show up in your mentions every time you talk about enjoying something that has crime or impure thought in it.

chipotle employee: ah so you're a teacher, you're probably gearing up for back to school soon me: i can't begin to explain how insensitive it is for you to bring this up

went to Yale and visited Book Prison

Recently turned in a deeply researched draft of a book on What AI Actually Is and reader, this is 100% correct

I just got a hand-me-down record player so I can finally become the vinyl hipster I was meant to be, but it IS a trap bc it is a Surface that I'm not allowed to put Objects on :((((

Anyone want custom patterns? Paper, mailed to you. I have a table finally and I’m really short on some bills.

MORE RENAISSANCE FAIRE TOMFOOLERY, this time a little corset belt for my friend, made out of a favorite pair of pants that finally gave up the ghost. But textiles don't get out of further work that easy in this house, they'll stay out of the landfill for years to come in this incarnation!

The Terror: a study in kitty mouths

Ball fringe is the easiest shortcut to maximum whimsy, I find. Dawn-themed Renfaire costume in progress, very little attention to historicity, just going on vibes and responding to stuff I find in salvage or in my stash.

do you ever do hours of visual research to figure out what the age gap was between these guys and what period they were at the Vatican together and then what st peter's square looked like in 1510 etc etc before even starting a 2 page comic

I am Once Again Asking everyone to read Terry Pratchett and specifically Going Postal

Crazy that LA is real and not just something they made up for movies

Happy pride month

maybe this is an ice cold take but Wes Anderson films are made for film actors who want the energy of theater but to still be paid like it's film

When I see a book ad with lists of tropes and character intros, I feel like I'm being focus grouped at. It's so corporate, it's so flat. No vision, nothing specific or idiosyncratic, just repeated overtures to how relatable and familiar the work is.

I need a sports anime adaptation of this pronto

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

Blue canarye yn the outlette by the lighte swicche Who waccheth ovir thee Make a litel dovecote yn thy soul

ok fine not immune to a bandwagon

Quick, somebody Photoshop a dude placing a folding chair on the pope’s throne or whatever

Our beloved shipmate @hjhaverkamp.bsky.social has returned! Tap the admiral. Timber-taster. Tom Astoners. Tumble up. All these nautical terms and more defined in this, the twentieth chapter of The Sailor’s Word-Book. open.spotify.com/episode/0aGK...

Woah. This is very cool. There is apparently almost no evidence for the “pagan goddess” Eostre. open.substack.com/pub/florence...

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

happy Easter to this masterfully done interpretation of the time between the crucifixion and resurrection. It's sensitive, astute, and moving, and I'd recommend it to anyone who understands the Easter story as fundamentally anti-carceral.

Master and Commander/TNG Intro this was rendering all day while I was out lol

one thing about me, I love a goop dessert

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

I'm gonna be honest this has become one of my go-to outfits (sans fanny pack) he really popped off with this one

Oh yeah, I finished it, btw. And the show opened, and closed, and was very fun and silly. Learned how to do a couture method interlining to conceal the lines of the boning for this dress!

FWIW I was a huge HP fan as a tween/teen. It was my intro to online fanculture. You better believe I dunked that shit in the garbage the second that idiot TERF went mask off. Boohoo. I can give up something that was important to me once and move on bc I'm not an emotionally stunted child.

Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card. #art #nationallibraryweek

nobody tells you this but you can just put whatever you want in the box at the whole foods salad bar. Absolutely unholy combinations. You can just fill that thing with dolmas and ranch and no one can stop you.
